TEACHING YOUR LOVE OF
CROCHETING TO KIDS
Helping 4-H members learn a skill like
crocheting can be a real challenge as well as
a gratifying experience. You will find that
some members will master the skill easily,
while others will struggle. Children who are
taught to crochet learn so much more than
just “stitches.” They learn problem solving
and math skills. Their reading, motor skills
and eye-hand coordination are enhanced. It
is an opportunity to develop decision making
abilities and learn skills that can give pleasure
throughout a lifetime. They find an outlet for
their creativity which builds self-confidence
and self-esteem.
TEN TIPS FROM THE PROS
1. KEEP IT FUN! Your young students must
enjoy what they are doing. Let them see that
you are having fun.
2. Have a model to display of a project
so your students can see what they will
be making.
3. Select simple projects that will interest your
young students.
• Choose projects that can be
completed quickly
• Use brightly colored yarns
• Have extra supplies on hand
6. Showing is better than telling.
Demonstrate the skill that you want them
to learn.
7. Put something in their hands as soon as
possible. Many teachers have found it easier
to begin by giving students a hook with a
few rows of crochet completed. Students
learn the basics more easily and then go
back and learn foundation chain, which
can be tricky for beginners because of
their tension.
8. Children need a sense of accomplishment.
Provide them with frequent progress
reports.
9. When a child is having difficulty with a
skill, show an alternative, if possible.
10. When teaching teenagers:
• Do not “dumb down” your
instructions, but recognize their
interests are different.
• Treat them as adults not like
“large children.”
• Choose projects that match
their interests.
• Consider current fashion trends.
4. Keep the lessons short to accommodate
the short attention span of children.
5. Don’t expect perfection. They are trying.
That is what is important. Praise them! Find
something to compliment:
• “I like that yarn color!”
• “You have been a good listener today!”
• “I like the way you are holding your
crochet hook!”
• REMEMBER KEEP IT FUN !!!

CROCHETING TOOLS
Proper tools are necessary in crocheting. Learn about the tools before you
buy so you will select good equipment.
CROCHET HOOK
A crochet hook is the first tool required.
Crochet patterns tell the size of hooks to use.
Your leader will help you decide what hooks
to use for your first project.
MEASURING TOOLS
For measuring you will need a ruler (either
6 or 12 inch), a measuring tape, or a metalmeasuring gauge.
SCISSORS
Keep a small pair of scissors or shears handy
for cutting yarn, trimming pompoms, etc. Be
sure to keep scissors in a case for safety.
TAPESTRY NEEDLE
A blunt-pointed tapestry needle is used for
sewing seams. A straight, steel needle is best.
Some tapestry needles have a “hump” around
the eye. They are not good for joining seams
in crocheting as the hump catches on stitches
and makes it hard to pull the yarn through.
3
YARN & GAUGE
YARN
Yarns are available in a variety of weights (thickness of the strands) and fiber contents.
For best results, use the yarn specified in the instructions. Be sure to purchase all the
yarn you need for a project at the same time because dye lots may vary a little in shading
and this will show on the finished project. If you are combining different types of yarn in
the same project, make sure they have similar washing instructions. Care instructions are
found on the product label—follow them carefully. Always make sure to make a swatch
to measure the gauge.
GAUGE
Gauge is the number of stitches (and spaces) per inch and the number of rows (or rounds)
per inch. In many patterns, gauge is specified over 4 inches. Your gauge and the gauge
specified in the pattern must be the same so that your project will be the correct size. This
is especially crucial for projects that must fit.
Before starting your project, take the time to make a gauge swatch. To check gauge, use
the same yarn, hook and pattern stitch specified in the instructions. Make a swatch that is
approximately 6 inches square. Work in pattern for about 6 inches, then bind off. Let the
swatch relax for a bit, then flatten it without stretching to measure.
Using pins, mark off a section of stitches in the center of the swatch that measures 4 inches
square. Count the number of stitches and rows in this 4 inch section. If they match the gauge,
you can start right in on your pattern.
If you have too few stitches, you are working too loosely—change to smaller hook and make
another swatch. If you have too many stitches, you are working too tightly—change to larger
hook. Keep making swatches and experimenting with hook sizes until you obtain the specified
gauge. Everyone crochets differently, this will help you be able to make a project that fits.
Each skein of yarn has the yarn size and suggested hook on the label. You will want to keep
the label for your reference.
Threads are also use to crochet. Crochet thread is generally used for dollies, table cloths, table
toppers or as an edge on a project. The most commonly used thread is a number 10 size
thread. The larger the thread number, the finer the thread, so 20 is finer than 10, and 30 is
finer than 20. You will want to use a thread hook for this type of crocheting. A “0” hook
works well with a size 10 thread.
4
WORKING FROM A PATTERN
Patterns are written in a language of their own, and this will help you become familiar with
special stitches and abbreviations. Although not all publications use the same abbreviations,
the terminology will become familiar with a read-through.
ABBREVIATIONS
These are standard abbreviations that may appear in this booklet. Any abbreviations specific
to a pattern will be given at the beginning of the pattern.

ROLLING YARN INTO A BALL THAT
PULLS FROM CENTER
Some yarns come in hanks, some are pre-wound and pull from the center.
Rolling a ball that pulls from the center is a good skill to have.
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
Hank of yarn or loose yarn
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
If you are rolling a ball from a hank of yarn,
carefully untie the hank, keeping it in the large
loop. Have someone hold it for you, or drape the
loop over the back of a chair or over your knees.
Step #2:
Holding the loose end of yarn firm with your
thumb, roll the yarn around three fingers very
loosely 10-12 times.
Step #3:
Slip the yarn off your fingers and hold it firmly in
the center with the free end of the yarn hanging
loose.
Step #4:
Now very loosely wrap the yarn around the part
you rolled on your fingers about 10-12 times. If
you pull the yarn too tightly, it will not pull free
from the center of the ball when you are ready to
knit or crochet, and it may also take some of the
stretch out of the yarn. Be sure not to catch the
free end while wrapping the yarn.
6
Step #5:
Now that you have formed the base for your ball,
hold your thumb on the spot where the free end
of yarn is coming out and your fingers are on
the opposite side. (We will call the side with your
thumb the top and the other side the bottom.)
Hold the free end of yarn in the palm of your
hand with your little finger.
Step #6:
Now, gently wind yarn from the bottom, toward
you, across top of ball, keeping the yarn close
to your thumb. Keep turning the ball slowly
counter-clockwise. Be very careful to keep your
thumb in the hole you form as you wind, and
keep the free end of yarn free. Be sure you wind
the ball loosely. Always wind from bottom across
top—never around sides. If the ball becomes too
pointed on the bottom, squeeze it more tightly
between thumb and fingers.
Step #7:
When the yarn is all wound, tuck the end under
several loops of yarn. When you are ready to
crochet, the free end you hold in the palm of
your hand will pull out easily and the ball will not
roll away.
7
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET HOLDING THE YARN AND HOOK
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
There are no hard and fast rules about the
best way to hold the hook and yarn. Choose
whichever way you find the most comfortable.
Some people prefer the “pencil grip.” The hook
is held in the right hand as if holding a pencil.
Step #2:
Some people prefer using the “knife grip.” The
hook is held in the right hand as if holding a
dinner knife ready to cut.
Step #3:
To maintain the slight tension in the yarn
necessary for easy, even stitches, you may find it
helpful to wrap the yarn around the fingers of
the hand opposite the one holding the hook. Try
one of these ways, or find another way that feels
comfortable to you.
Step #4:
In the illustration to the right, the left hand holds
your crochet work and at the same time controls
the tension of the yarn. The left-hand middle
finger is used to manipulate the yarn, while the
index finger and thumb hold on to the work.
Step #5:
Some people find it more comfortable to
manipulate the yarn with the index finger and
hold the project with their thumb and middle
finger. While you’re learning, if one ways feels
awkward, try another way until you find the one
that suits you.
8
FOUNDATION CHAIN - SLIP KNOT
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Make a circle with yarn or thread.
Step #2 and 3:
Pull a loop through the circle.
Step #4:
Insert the hook in the loop.
Step #5:
Pull gently and evenly to close the loop and slide
the knot up to the hook.
9
FOUNDATION CHAIN -YARN OVER
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Wrap the yarn from back to front over the hook (or hold the yarn still and maneuver the
hook). This movement of the yarn over the hook is used over and over again in crochet and
is usually called “yarn over,” abbreviated as “yo.”
FOUNDATION CHAIN - CHAIN STITCH
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Yarn over and pull the yarn through the loop already on the hook to form a new loop. Be
careful not to tighten the previous loop.
Step #2:
Repeat to form the number of chains specified in the instructions. Do not count the slip
knot as a stitch.
10
FOUNDATION CHAIN - WORKING
INTO THE FOUNDATION CHAIN
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
When working into the starting chain, you may work under one or two chain loops as
shown in the illustration. Either of these methods forms an even, firm bottom edge.
Some people like to work into the “bump” on the back of the chain. This forms an even,
stretchy bottom edge that is ideal for garments.
Whichever method of working into the foundation you choose, be consistent. Work all the
pieces of a project in the same manner.
11
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET SLIP STITCH
This is the shortest of all crochet stitches. Unlike other stitches, slip stitches are not usually
used on their own to produce a fabric. The slip stitch is used for joining, shaping and, where
necessary, to move the yarn to another part of the fabric for the next stage.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Insert the hook into the work (shown in the second chain from hook in the illustration).
Step #2 and 3:
Yarn over and pull the yarn through both the work and the loop on the hook in one movement.
Step #4 and 5:
To join a chain ring with a slip stitch, insert the hook into first chain, yarn over and pull the
yarn through the work and the loop on the hook.
12
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET SINGLE CROCHET
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Insert the hook into the work (second chain from
hook on the starting chain), * yarn over and draw
yarn through the work only.
Step #2:
Yarn over again and pull the yarn through both loops
on the hook.
Step #3:
One sc made. Insert hook into next stitch; repeat from *.
13
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET HALF DOUBLE CROCHET
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Yarn over and insert the hook into the work (third
chain from hook on the starting chain).
Step #2:
* Yarn over and draw through the work only.
Step #3:
Yarn over again and pull yarn through all three loops
on the hook.
Step #4:
One hdc made.
Step #5:
Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch; repeat from *.
14
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET DOUBLE CROCHET
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Yarn over and insert the hook into the work (fourth
chain from hook on starting chain).
Step #2:
*Yarn over and draw yarn through the work only.
Step #3:
Yarn over and pull yarn through the first two loops
only on the hook.
Step #4:
Yarn over and pull yarn through the last two loops on
the hook.
Step #5:
One dc made. Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch;
repeat from *.
15
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET TREBLE CROCHET
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Yarn over twice; insert the hook into the work (fifth
chain from hook on the starting chain).
Step #2:
* Yarn over and draw yarn through the work only.
Step #3:
Yarn over again and pull yarn through the first two loops
only on the hook.
Step #4:
Yarn over again and pull yarn through the next two
loops only on the hook.
Step #5:
Yarn over again and pull yarn through the last two loops
on the hook.
Step #6:
One tr made.
Step #7:
Yarn over twice, insert hook into next stitch; repeat
from *.
16
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET TURNING CHAINS
When turning a row, the first chain (turning chain) helps transition the row to the height of
the first stitch of the new row. The height of the first chain (turning chain) must match the
height of the first stitch, and the number of chains depends on the first stitch after
the chain.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Single Crochet = 1 chain
Step #2:
Half Double Crochet = 2 chains
Step #3:
Double Crochet = 3 chains
Step #4:
Treble Crochet = 4 chains
When working half double crochet or other taller stitches, the turning chain usually serves as
the first stitch. The project instructions will let you know whether or not the turning chain
is considered a stitch. When one chain is worked at the beginning of a row starting with a
single crochet stitch, it is usually for height only and is made in addition to the first stitch.
17
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET FASTEN OFF
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
To fasten off the yarn permanently, cut the yarn
leaving an 8” end (longer if you need to sew
pieces together). Pull the end of the yarn through
the loop on the hook and pull gently to tighten.
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET JOINING IN NEW YARN
When joining in new yarn or changing color, continue working yarn until two loops of the
last stitch remain in the working yarn or color.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Yarn over with the new color of yarn and pull
the new color of yarn through to complete the
stitch.
Step #2:
Continue to work the following stitches
in the new yarn color following the
pattern instructions.
Step #3 and 4:
If you are working whole rows in different
colors, make the change during the last stitch in
the previous row, so the new color for the next
row is ready to work the turning chain.
If you are working a narrow stripe pattern, instead of cutting off the old color of yarn,
carry it loosely along the side of the fabric so that it is ready to pick up again the next time it
is needed. For wide stripe patterns, it is usually best to cut off the old color or yarn, leaving a
6” end for weaving in. Longer carries, also called “floats” are easily snagged.
18
LEARN HOW TO CROCHET FINISHING
Finishing methods for crochet depend largely on the end purpose of the crochet (pillow,
afghan, garment) and the yarn you use to create the piece.
WEAVE IN ENDS
Weave in ends securely before blocking pieces or sewing seams. Securely woven ends will
not come loose with wear or washing. There are several methods for weaving in ends—use
whichever one works best for you.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
Thread yarn end through a blunt tapestry needle.
Whipstitch the end around several stitches. Trim
the end close to work.
Step #2:
The woven end should be nearly invisible.
Step #3:
Another method of weaving in ends is to run
the end under several stitches, wrap it around a
stitch and then run it under several more stitches.
For even more security, reverse the direction and
weave back under and over a few more stitches.
Trim the end close to work.
19
SEAMS
Various methods can be used to join pieces of crochet and, again, the use of the finished
item often dictates the assembly method. Sewn seams can be invisible or decorative. Below
are a few suggestions for joining pieces of crochet.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1:
To join with an invisible sewn seam, place pieces edge to edge with the wrong sides facing
up and whipstitch together.
Step #2:
To join invisibly using a crochet hook, place right sides of pieces together and slip stitch
through one loop of each piece as illustrated.
